Women We Love - Andy's Trip Edition: Ashley (1 of 4)

I love coming home to Indiana for vacation. I have great friends in CJ & Andrea that feel like family (more on that later this week). I get along better with my real family now more than I ever have, and I truly enjoy spending time with them.

But one thing I have …

What I Have Been Up To

I know I have been awful at blogging recently, but I took a break. I have had a wonderful time up in Indiana and still have another 5 days or so.

Hanging out with CJ & Andrea is always a blast. I am the only person I know who wakes up at 11 am for work most days, but …

The Great Santa Debate

I was the Editor-in-Chief of my high school yearbook. I know,

I Found My Identical Voice Twin

We've had some pretty heavy posts so I am going to lighten it up.

One thing that annoys the crap out of me when pulling clips from Comedy Central for the show is the they play an ad spot before every single video.

The most annoying? Blackberry. We ge-e-e-et it. You …

Risks In The Beginning Paying Off In The End

I recently had AT&T U-verse installed at the home. Thus far, way better than Comcast. But last Friday after it was installed, I was checking out the new features and was flipping through the channels when Julia Stiles graced my screen.

I love Julia Stiles. Now I'll …

The Problem of Evil, Jeremiah, and Dirty Sexy Money

The largest hurdle I have in believing that there is a God is the existence of evil. I know this doesn't make me unique, or profound.

I was watching Dirty Sexy Money earlier this week and resonated so strongly with the following clip. Brian is the religious one - but …

Congratulations to Lisa Blosser...But Does This Mean My Career In Politics Will Start in 2010?

On Monday my dad was in the paper. On Tuesday, my step-mother - Lisa Blosser - was in the paper with a glowing review of her career as a politician and some conjecture on what she will do next (which I don't even know - so don't ask).

Lisa is a fantastic politician. …

The Reasonable Response to a Month of Over-spending? Build An iPhone App

If you have read this blog for more than 10 minutes you know that I am pretty anal when it comes to my finances. No, that's not strong enough. What is beyond anal? Hmmm....got it. The large intestine. I am entering a new phrase into the English vernacular. I am …

Congratulations Dad! Best Lawyers in America 2009

I got word this morning that my father - Dan Borgmann of Helmke, Beams, LLC - was named to the 2009 Best Lawyers in America list.

I checked the Best Lawyers in America website but they don't have the 2009 directory up - but this article in the Journal-Gazette confirms …

I Think I Am A Man...Part 3 (aka I Hate Popcorn Ceiling Now More Than Ever)

I once went to Juarez, Mexico with 40 other people to build 2 houses in about 25 hours. It was July and if memory serves me correct it was 195°. It was crazy and exhausting.

We had laid the foundation. Put up the studs and drywall. Spackled. Etc. All that was …

Where Can I Find This Stuff Below 10,000 Feet

There have been some heavy posts recently, and it's Friday, so I thought I would lighten it up a bit. I have been meaning to do this post for almost 2 years.

Most of you know I don't drink alcohol because I know I would be an alcoholic. There are a few reasons I know …

Not Sure What I Am Most Thankful For, But I Am A Bit Surprised

I was recently asked by someone what I was most thankful for this year. I pointed her towards 26 things I was thankful for, but I had to think about what I was most thankful for.

Now you may be asking, dude, Thanksgiving was a week ago, why are you writing this now? …

He's A Christian? But He's Fun?

Niki (not real name): "I thought you said your cousin is a Christian? He's so fun."

Julia: "Yeah, being a Christian isn't his problem."

Niki: "Well what's his problem?"

Julia: "He blogs."

This was a conversation my cousin had with a friend of her's after I met up …
